The UK Government yesterday (4 May) launched a new programme offering up to £800,000 to help bring forward demand-side flexibility in the non-domestic energy market.
As part of the demand flexibility service trial, energy company British Gas has paid out over £1.8 million since December 2022, saving at total of 147MWh of energy.
The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) has indicated that should the UK government be slow in the rollout of EV and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, the UK could miss out on £6.5 billion on energy bills.
Flexibility marketplace Piclo is targeting further international expansion into new regions across Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific, having raised £8.3 million.
The Energy Networks Association (ENA) has identified improved transparency, easier participation and improved coordination as key objectives in 2023 for its Open Networks plan.
